A Flinders Ranges tradition since 1974

Take a full-day or half-day trip aboard a restored steam or heritage diesel train on the original Ghan route between Port Augusta and Quorn.

Watch gum-lined creeks, bluebush-studded hills and ancient rocky outcrops roll past at the relaxed pace of years gone by. All trains use historic steam or diesel locomotives and immaculately restored timber carriages up to 100 years old. The Pichi Richi Railway is a Flinders Ranges tradition, proudly restored and run by volunteers since 1974.

Open selected dates from March to November each year. Check our timetable, then book online or phone 1800 PR RAIL (1800 77 7245).
